PULL OVER POINT #2 La Tène stone
Location: 53.586747, -8.272093
On arrival, go through stone gates and find the stone some 50m on the right. Known as the Castlestrange Stone, this dramatic granite boulder displays the characteristic curvilinear ornamentation of Celtic flourishes called La Tène. These date from the Iron Age (c. 400 BC), and were named from the site in Switzerland where such designs were first noted in artefacts. Picnic table on site.
